We’re Halfway There

June 25, 2013

Seriously, guys. Where has the year gone? It’s already the end of June, which means we’re more than halfway through 2013. That prompted me to go back and see how much progress I’ve made on the goals I set for myself this year (see 2013). I’m proud to say that I’ve accomplished a lot of things thus far (My passport arrived last week; I’ve been blogging consistently; I’ve developed an attitude of gratitude, and express my love and appreciation toward family and friends more frequently; I opened a savings account; etc.).

But, I’ve still got work to do. I mean, who can’t stand to improve? More specifically, I need to get better with being punctual, completing everything I start and procrastinating less, among other things. Though I realize that certain goals, especially those pertaining to my spiritual maturity and walk with Christ, are fluid endeavors that I’ll constantly pursue, it’s good to be honest with myself and take inventory of where I stand. Small victories count, too.

As the famous Winston Churchill quote goes, “Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”

Enough about me. What about you? How are you doing with your goals or New Year’s resolutions?
